Awesome honeymoon

First time in Punta Cana. Would definitely return to this resort. Beach was breath taking. Grounds were well maintained. All dining areas (buffet and al la cartes) were well layed out with lots of food choices. Quick response from guest services. Sunwing agents at resort were amazing for all requests.

Truly more than what I expected.

The room I shared with my sister was enormous! Our bar fridge was stocked daily with water, pop & beer. The grounds & pools were amazing. The ocean was close with a lovely sandy beach. I've never been to an all inclusive in 25 years, so I was a little hesitant as to what the food buffet might have to offer. I was amazed at the quality & quantity of food . I loved every thing that was presented to us. The staff could not do enough for you . This was an amazing vacation for me & the only thing wro [... read more]ng was it was only for a week. Can't wait to return again !

Wonderful

Anyone who had a problem with this resort, you simply cannot please. The food is outstanding, the people so nice and helpful and the resort is beautiful! My sister broke her toe the second day there and although she was limited, the staff treated her like a queen. They could not do enough for her. The resort also made accomadations at all times, such as: cabs, golf cart and the train that picks you up for people who are limited with walking. Outstanding!

Excellent staff and food

The Caribe Club needs some updates to it's literature. I felt a little mislead to the amenities I was to receive for the Royal Suite. i.e.: No Fruit basket, only 1 TV, etc. Not big things as we spent our time on the beach most of the time, but false advertising makes for a bad "word of mouth" campaign! The Staff were excellent! A person that made our vacation very special was Jose De La Paz. Beach waiter. Friendly, hard working and always happy to make sure we were taken care of. Very special pe [... read more]rson. An "absolute must" to ask for him when staying at Caribe to make your stay special. Rooms were tired, especially for a Suite.

Not even close to a four star

The staff are great at this resort, but it is missing 4 star things like decent shower, proper around the pool washrooms, not running out of towels, stocking minibar with beer as well as water and pop etc...

Amazing place....no disappointments!!

It was beautiful. Food was great, staff were excellent. Room was great.....no complaints. Great value for money!! We had amazing weather. We did the Boogie cart excursion and would recommend it to all.

Better than expected - excellent

Grounds were beautifully kept and very clean, staff could not do enough for you, rooms clean, food very good, pool and beach excellent, lots of restaurant choices, beautiful local language, drinks good.

Excellent Resort

This was a very wonderful resort. It was very clean and the selection of food was great - you can always find something to eat. Three pools and lots of chairs on beach. Beach was wonderful and you could walk for miles.

Great Value excellant friendly staff

The grounds are well maintained, the beach is beautiful, one of the nicest beaches in the Dominican, you could walk for miles. The resort itself is a little dated, but kept very clean since it is an older resort the rooms are larger with plenty of storage for personals, refreshing, not the case with some of the newer, more luxurious resorts. Friendly staff that go out their way to please. Food was good, Overall quite pleasantly surprised!

Resort needs work

Rooms need work!! we had to change room apron arrival because the air conditioning and the safe was not working. Second room was much better however it to had its issues. Example closet doors were broken and shower was not very clean. However the room was much larger and it had a better view. We talked to several people during our stay and they too had to change rooms. Food, I got stomach problems after the second dinner.

Beautiful grounds

Incredible beach and beautiful grounds. Not impressed by the food. The staff was medium friendly, I have definitely had better. The rooms were good but the blankets grungy. We were put in a back room that was over some smelly drains and it took three nights to get a room change.

Good for the price

Pros- smaller resort, all pools, restaurants and ocean extremely close walking distance. The lobby was a bit further but still a short 2-3 minute walk. Judith and Kiara in the lobby- amazing, any issues they dealt with quickly and with a smile! VIP status- definitely do this- adds a massage, bottle of rum, robes which were awesome!, coffee maker, beer in the room, welcome basket and cigars, more a la crates, and premium drinks (ie Smirnoff, absolute and bottled Miller beer). Food was quite good, [... read more] Mexican fajitas and chicken Parmesan were great. And awesome fries at beach bar. Mostly friendly staff, lady at the beach bar not so much. Grounds were well maintained and lush. Cons- suites extremely tired and outdated. We switched to a superior room (which is supposedly a downgrade) but it was exactly as it looked on the site and was awesome, only drawback was it didn't have a bathtub only a shower but that was fine with us. the sewer smell on the path to the lobby. I had to take the "bus" most times to get thru quicker and with something covering my mouth and nose. Water pressure in showers, doesn't matter which floor u are on, it is weak. Nightly entertainment was ok, no better or worse than the usual resorts. Day staff did lots during the day to get people involved- bubble machine in the pool, miss bikini, volleyball, water balloon toss, yoga, beer drinking contest etc. Overall it was good for $1400 but I've been to much nicer ones in punta Cana, but of course they were more money. you get what u pay for. I would recommend it to those on a more limited budget until renovations have taken place.

Great resort

Beaches were amazing. The grounds were clean and the food was very good. Rooms need a little update but in all they were very comfortable. The staff was very good at keeping the visitors entertained. The afternoon bbq was amazing.

Great trip!

The resort is not terribly large, which I liked. We stayed in the Cayenna building and it was fantastic location, close to pool, beach and restaurants. Great staff... near everyone was incredibly friendly. Food was ok, I had read reviews that a la cartes were amazing, but I only really enjoyed the Asian and Mexican... the others I wouldn't bother with and was tough to get a decent reservation time despite the restaurants being nearly empty each time we went. Beach was gorgeous! Animation staff w [... read more]ere awesome, fun activities (night beach party and foam pool party were standouts). Shows weren't that great... we only attended 1 and a few minutes of another.

Great Resort that includes fabulous service

The Club Caribe Princess was a wonderful resort who's staff work so hard to make your stay special. Judith at guest service exemplified this by her outgoing and tireless assistance!! The room very clean but in need of a renovation. Grounds and buildings were kept immaculate. Best part of Bavaro beach! There was a variety of good food at the restaurants, buffet and snack bar.

Great resort

Having access to both resorts is a real bonus. There are also 5 a la care restaurants. The buffet was big. The fruit juices were amazing. Great omelettes and pasta. Pool at the second resort is nice and quiet. Seaweed is an issue.

Fabulous Resort!

The grounds were beautiful, well maintained and very spacious. Even though the resort seemed full, the pools were great and not overcrowded but sometimes difficult to get chairs. Lots of bars and eating venues and the waiters were very friendly. We had a family room with two bathrooms, two bedrooms with three full size beds and a beautiful balcony. No issues with cold water showers - always hot! They definitely could invest in new mattresses and beds and a bit of upgrading but overall the room w [... read more]as great. They do use bleach to clean so you need to make sure the outdoor furniture is totally dry before using it! The food was good but after talking to friends who stayed in other resorts it sounded like we obviously had better food! Lots of great excursions - my only recommendation would be to pay in cash. If you use credit you get dinged because they convert to peso and then to US from Canadian whereas Cdn to US would have cost us approximately $1.25 to the dollar we got hit with $1.36 to the dollar - not happy about it and wish we had known beforehand because we would have taken more cash with us. The beach is fabulous for walking, swimming, relaxing! Had a great vacation and would definitely go back to this resort.

Beautiful resort

Great resort with very good and varied food options. But beware what room you get assigned as some rooms are poorly maintained and faulty plumbing system could cause some very unpleasant surprise (flooding of room).

Would consider another visit

The resort as a whole was fairly good, definitely in need of some updates to be sure. I would not say it was 4 star worthy personally. We had issues with the AC not working properly and told them about it at the front desk. No one followed up to fix it, so it was constantly a balmy 27 degrees which is not ideal for comfortable sleeping. Our cleaning lady was great and always made sure we had clean towels and our fridge was stocked! The food, I can not say too much about as I was ill for 50% of t [... read more]he vacation (not food related) but what I did eat was quite okay, not great but okay. The staff as a whole were friendly and always ready to greet us with a smile. I would give this hotel another visit when looking for an inexpensive vacation.

Wow!!! Paradise :)

We loved the layout of this hotel, we stayed close to the pool, ocean, buffet. The hotel was very clean and the service was great. Even though it was March Break and busy, we never felt overwhelmed by people.
